Smart light company Govee apologizes for “white supremacy” marketing imagery

Govee apologized after a website marketing image for bedroom lighting showed books labeled “white supremacy.”

The Verge reported the image, prompting backlash before Govee removed it from its site.

Govee said the image came from a licensed third-party library and that its approval process failed.

The incident highlights how weak content review can let offensive imagery reach a brand’s public website.
